With how sweltering hot it has been over the past weeks, everyone has certainly tried different ways to beat the stifling summer heat. Apart from getting ourselves refreshed by dipping our bodies in cool and clear bodies of water, going on nature trips or somewhere cold, and/or concocting various refreshments to keep ourselves fresh and hydrated, there are some who have found this as a perfect chance (or excuse?) for them to have their crowning glory chopped off.
And just in case you’re still mulling this option over, you may want to check out this Kapamilya Snaps feature to look for inspiration as we collated here photos of some of our favorite female celebrities slaying in short ‘dos!
Kim Chiu
As she turned 34 last April 19, Kim really stunned her Instagram followers when she posted a reel and a carousel of snaps of her rocking a cool pixie cut and an all-black leather ensemble, absolutely channeling the inner badass woman in her for her birthday photoshoot. The Linlang lead star captioned one of her posts, “A year older. Braver. Stronger. Smarter. Wiser.” and then the other one, “Another year, another reason to make things right and just enjoy life itself!”
Andrea Brillantes
Just in time for the much-awaited sequel of Senior High entitled “High Street,” wherein she’s going to reprise her well-loved role Sky Love Cruz, Andrea surprised everyone – her family and friends included! – when she cut her chest-length tress into a chic layered lob. Then she had it styled in various ways each day that she attended the popular Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as seen in the snaps that she posted. This isn’t the first time that she sported a short hair as she even once had a Tinker Bell moment for a photoshoot in which she wore a blonde pixie.
Anne Curtis
The It’s Showtime mainstay has experimented with her hair over the years – from the length and style to the color. Thus, we can say that Anne is already an expert when it comes to styling short hair!
In her return to the show on Monday (April 22), she mesmerized everyone when she appeared with a blunt bob, which further highlighted her beautiful face and provided her extra vibrance.
Ivana Alawi
We all know how ravishing Ivana is, but she’s arguably a different kind of sexy whenever she’s in her short hair era. She had her crowning glory chopped off in the last quarter of 2021, so she actually had short hair while filming A Family Affair the following year.
The FPJ’s Batang Quiapo leading lady also rocked a pixie wig for a magazine cover shoot in June 2022, as well as for her transformation into her male alter ego “Ivan” for one of her YouTube vlogs.
Kathryn Bernardo
All eyes were definitely on Kathryn when she paraded on the red carpet of the ABS-CBN Ball 2023 in a shimmering silver gown that showed off her toned abdomen and paired it off with a short bob with full bangs.
Aside from that occasion, the Asia’s Superstar was also spotted enjoying her short hair in two magazine cover shoots around the same time last year.
Alexa Ilacad
Now that she’s already a full-fledged adult, Alexa is all about working on herself and feeling confident about her body. She may have been wearing her hair long in recent years, not to mention dyeing it red a few months ago, but there was a point in time when the Pira-Pirasong Paraiso star snipped her crowning glory and absolutely looked gorgeous and refreshing in it.
Kaila Estrada
Apart from the fashionable OOTDs that she wears as Bettina in Can’t Buy Me Love, we also adore the stunning short tress of Kaila, which she had at the beginning of 2024. Thus, if you’re aiming for a look that is refreshing and sophisticated at the same time, you may want to consider Kaila as one of your celebrity style inspirations.
Loisa Andalio
Just a few days after Pira-Pirasong Paraiso concluded last January, Loisa debuted her new look the following month and we’re definitely so in love with it! She apparently had her hair trimmed to keep it short just in time for her 25th birthday, which she marked by having an edgy photoshoot that showed off her sexiness and inner femme fatale.
Sarah Lahbati
Legendary French fashion designer and businesswoman Coco Chanel has a famous quote that states, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” And it’s apparently true with Sarah, who noticeably switched her long locks to a bob as she entered a new chapter in her life late last year.
Her short hair, which adds a dash of sophistication to every look she sashays in, completely gives off a more refreshing and laidback, making it perfect as well for her trips to her favorite place – the beach.
Kira Balinger
Last, but definitely not the least is Kira, who seemingly made it a goal this 2024 to amp up her style. And this includes changing her hairdo to a long bob. The Mars Ravelo’s Darna actress opened the year by sharing a carousel of snaps of her showing how happy and contented she is with her new look and captioned it, “New hair, New year, same me.”
So, did these gorgeous actresses help you decide what kind of short hair you want to pull off this summer?
